The author discusses changes that have taken place in Lebanon in recent years: (1) social structure and change; (2) education and social change; (3) religion and social change; (4) technical assistance and social change; (5) social distance changes; and (6) internationalization. He concludes that the variety of social stimuli tend to establish new procedures that function on an ever larger social base. A strong religious cast in the social structure gives it unusual stability. The fact that the Lebanese want their country to progress is a vital factor leading to social change.
